I can't take credit for .. and ... .  SuSE set those up automagically in
the 6.x and 7.x days, and I've kept them out of habit.  They're still 
useful enough that I tend to add them to ~/.alias on any machine where
I have an account.

Preach on.

alias pm='ps auxw | more' # gotta see everything running
 
More stuff:

alias cda='cd /var/www/localhost/htdocs'
alias cdl='cd /var/log/apache2'
alias cdp='cd /home/mhgraham/public_html'
alias cds='cd /var/spool/slrnpull/news'
# directories that get used fairly often, modify for
# your needs.
alias cur='sed -e "s/000$/ MHz/" < /sys/devices/system/
cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq'
# for some reason, sometimes cpufreqd decides to run the
# CPU at max speed even though the load is 0.01.  This
# alias lets me see if that's happening.
alias slrnpull='slrnpull -d /var/spool/slrnpull -h news.individual.net'
# Usenet is not dead as long as I have a Net drop.
